Gforth is a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth language. This represents the present state of the Gforth project whose goal is the development of a standard implementation model for ANS Forth. Gforth supports indirect threading on every machine supported by GCC, and direct threading on several popular architectures. Gforth is distributed under the GNU General Public license (see COPYING). Read INSTALL for installation instructions. Mail gforth-bugs@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at if you have problems. To start the system, just say `gforth' (after installing it). If you want to work on Gforth, mail me. Tasks to be done can be found in ToDo; but if you would like to do something not mentioned there, it's ok, too. In any case, we would like to hear what you are doing. The most important tasks IMO are the missing ANS Forth words, the documentation and the foreign language interface for C. On popular request, here are the meanings of unusual file extensions: *.fs Forth stream source file *.fi Forth image files *.fb Forth blocks file *.i C include files *.ds documenation source *TAGS etags files - anton anton@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/home.html
